CISO Sanctuary Dinner Series by BreachRX

At the end of January, I had the privilege of partnering with BreachRx and Michael Piacente, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Hitch Partners, for a series of dinner events with CISO communities in Raleigh, NC, Atlanta, GA, and Washington, DC. These gatherings were more than just dinners—they were opportunities for open, honest conversations about the challenges and responsibilities we face as security leaders.

At each dinner, I shared lessons I’ve learned from navigating some of the most challenging security incidents in our industry—and what those experiences taught me about preparing for the unexpected. We also had engaging discussions about the market, the nuances of CISO protection, opportunities for the industry under the new administration, and emerging trends in incident response.

I’m grateful to BreachRx and everyone who attended for making these events so meaningful. Here’s to more opportunities to connect, share, and grow as a community.
